Hello Everyone!!!  I hope you are all having a fantastic week!  I'm glad it's already Thursday!  Yay!  I am SO excited to show you Beads Ink today!  Here are the awesome goodies that came all wrapped up!

This is SO cute!  I absolutely love how it came wrapped!

And it felt like a Tiffany's box too!

And then I opened it and instantly fell in love with the cute packaging!!  Isn't it awesome!?!?  So as you can see, Beads Ink is Nail Polish Jewelry Designs!

Here are the jewelry pieces again!  Aren't they stunning?  You can shop at http://www.etsy.com/shop/BeadsInk.  Here is more information from Stephanie, the owner, on her Etsy shop page:

I've now started accepting credit cards directly through Etsy. You can pay using your credit card or your Paypal account!!

Each order comes gift wrapped for free!! If you would like Christmas gift wrapping instead of my standard colors, please let me know.

I told Stephanie a few ideas and which ones I loved in her shop, so doing a custom order is SO easy!  Stephanie also has a huge list of polishes that she can use to make your custom piece!  I am beyond thrilled with how these turned out!!

And GUESS WHAT!?  Stephanie was SO very kind to set up a 15% off discount code for you, my dear readers!! The discount code is "Crystal15".  Enjoy!!!

First up, we have a square hanging from the corner in a darker silver metal with the Butter London polishes - Tart with a Hart and Black Knight.  Now I didn't get this idea myself, but was browsing websites and saw Scrangie's post - HERE - where she layered it.  OMG - I was in LOVE!  I have no idea why I didn't think of that sooner ;-) lol  Doesn't it make for a great pendant though?

I took pictures wearing these pieces, but didn't like the lighting, so hopefully tomorrow I can take a few pics in natural light and update the post!!  But I was able to grab some stunning pictures with my light box!

 

I am so in love with this idea.  I want to match my nails and see if anyone notices! haha :-D  But look how amazing this looks from the side!  The chain is nice and long on this, with an adjustable clasp.

Next, we have Starlight and Sparkles Phoenix Fire.  I don't have this gorgeous polish, but I wish I did after seeing this beauty in person!  WOW!

It is a silver color metal with almost a crown like top and scroll sides with an adjustable band.  The ring itself isn't very heavy, so it is very comfortable to wear.

Here is a picture with the flash!

No Flash.

Flash!  It's so hard to capture the beauty in this, but I think the flash helped show the holographic!  It looks very deep with the rounded bead. 

Here is a better view of the side.  This is silver though, my lighting is a tad off.

And last but not least, here is Rainbow Honey A Little Kindness.  I loved how the pendant looked vintage and this polish has always reminded me of Vintage or I always wanted to think of the polish as Victorian Lace - no idea why, but it's what comes to mind.  I hope someone knows what I'm talking about...haha!  Anyway, together I think this necklaces has a very sophisticated look.  I can picture my cream turtle neck with this!  It has a nice long chain too and hangs a bit lower than the other necklace!

The pink shimmer in the base glows in this and the glitters are so reflective.  I cannot wait to wear this, and the other pieces, and see how many compliments I get!  I'm sure none of my family, friends, or co-workers will have seen anything like it since it's custom made! 

 

Amazing right?  Stephanie did a fantastic job!!

 

I highly recommend checking out http://www.etsy.com/shop/BeadsInk to see all the gorgeous pieces available.  I think she has excellent quality for her price, ranging from $8-14 per piece.

 

You can find out more information on Beads Ink on Facebook, Instagram - @BeadsInk, and her blog, http://www.beadsink.com/blog/. 

 

And don't forget, she does custom orders!  I might have to grab a pair of earrings!  These Nail Polish Earrings - Cult Nails Clairvoyant, already sold, but aren't the gorgeous?  Reminds me of opal jewelry!  So get those wheels turning and make sure to use my coupon code: "Crystal15" for 15% off your order!!

 

Hope you all have a great day!!

 

Much Love,

Crystal

Rainbow Honey - Mare of the Moon

Hello and Happy Friday!! Today I have 2 gorgeous polishes featured!!  Rainbow Honey Mare of the Moon and Finger Paints Grape Gumball!

First up is Finger Paints Grape Gumball.  I received this in a swap from my friend Shannon!! Thank you SO much to her for finding this for me!  You can check out her awesome blog, http://thekrackedkat.blogspot.com/.  This is 2 coats with Wicked Fast top coat by Cult Nails.  Sorry for the tip wear - typing all day doesn't help! ;-)

  

 

So to cover up my tipwear and try out my new Rainbow Honey, I added 1 coat of Mare of the Moon and Wicked Fast top coat by Cult Nails!!  I believe that Mare of the Moon would probably look great in 2 coats, but it was easier to layer since I already had on Grape Gumball :-)  Here is the description of it on the website:

Mare of the Moon was inspired by Princess Luna; A deep and mysterious indigo polish with a violet color shift and a sprinkling of silver moon crescents and holographic glitters.

 

You can purchase this from the Rainbow Honey site for $10 for a 15ml bottle or $5 for a 7ml bottle. The bottles and packaging are so awesome - there is a ton of detail that goes into these polishes!  I received a brochure with my recent order, which described the colors and had awesome pictures!  If you didn't have all the colors from the Equestria Collection, this pamphlet will make you want to ;-)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you'd like to get more information and updates from Rainbow Honey, you can follow the Facebook page.  Finger Paints are sold at Sally Beauty stores, but I know I don't always find the colors I'm looking for unfortunately!

I hope you all have a great weekend!! I'm hoping we have some nice weather so I can hit the pool :-D

Much Love,
Crystal

Rainbow Honey - The Worst Possible Thing

Hello Everyone!! Today I have a quick post for you because my computer wasn't uploading like I wanted it to!  Hopefully it will be better tomorrow!  Anyway, I wasn't going to share this until I had more swatches of it layered over difference colors, but until then, please enjoy this gorgeous combo!  I hope to have more layering soon!!

This is Rainbow Honey - The Worst Possible Thing!!  I cannot believe I almost passed this one by!  It was actually Mr. CC who picked it - so I must give him full credit here!  Thank you to him!! Photographs just don't begin to show the beauty that is this polish!!  It is filled with glitters and flakies, leaning towards blues and purples!  It just dazzles on the nail! Here is the description on the website: 

The Worst Possible Thing was inspired by Rarity; A sheer layering polish, jewel encrusted just as Rarity would endorse, shimmering with opalescent flakes in purple and blue and a multitude of holographic and iridescent glitters. 

You can purchase this from the Rainbow Honey site for $10 for a 15ml bottle or $5 for a 7ml bottle. The bottles and packaging are simply stunning!  You will not be disappointed in this brand or this specific color!

I have layered The Worst Possible Thing over Zoya Phoebe (2 coats) with Wicked Fast by Cult Nails for the top coat.  This next photo shows some of the holographic sparkles in it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And again, I will be having more of this color!  It's too pretty not to layer over...everything!!! hehe  If you'd like to get more information and updates from Rainbow Honey, you can follow the Facebook page.

 

Have a great day!

 

Much Love,

Crystal

Rainbow Honey - A Little Kindness

Hello Everyone!! TGIF!!  Last night I was so tired, I ended up falling asleep at 7pm! LoL!!  We had some HOT temps though, which I was only outside for a bit compared to my poor Mr. CC!!  He had to work outside all day!  Eek!  Then all of a sudden, a storm rolled in bringing along hail!  Luckily they weren't too big of pieces falling, but it went on for 10-15 minutes!  Crazy weather!

Today is a gorgeous color by Rainbow Honey, called A Little Kindness.  I am convinced that this color will look great over anything!  It contains rose and gold medium hexagons, smaller gold and white hexagons, and even smaller light green and white hexagons.  The base is a cream color with a pink shift shimmer.  It just feels so elegant to me! 

So I wanted to show you the few colors I tried it with!!  The first few pictures are over OPI Don't Touch My Tutu, which I bought for $8.50 at my local Ulta Beauty.  I did 2 coats, then 1 coat of ALK, then another coat of DTMT, then another coat of ALK, with Cult Nails Wicked Fast Top Coat.  I did all that because I didn't want the glitter to be too much, but also wanted an accurate color of it!

 

 

The awesome news is that Rainbow Honey will be opening her website for the first time tomorrow (early Saturday) - http://rainbowhoney.com/!! She has a countdown going (which makes it SO convenient instead of trying to figure out time zones - genius! lol).  I absolutely love her creations, but she goes beyond that to fantastic labels and packaging for her products!  This came in the cutest little box, that just made it even better (sorry, I forgot pics but will include with my next Rainbow Honey review!!).  Dee, the owner, just posted pictures of the new boxes on her Facebook - HERE.  She also updates her Facebook page a lot, so make sure to follow her there!

 

Next, I tried A Little Kindness over Sinful Black on Black (1 coat).  I love how this brings the pink shimmer out!

 

 

 

I then pulled a random color to see how it would look, thinking it might be too different, but this ended up being my favorite look!  I used 2 coats of Zoya Phoebe (which is a gorgeous matte) as my base with 1 coat of ALK.

You can find Phoebe here - https://www.artofbeauty.com/rd/0125C26B - This is a Share the Love link, which is a way for me to earn points through them! So cool for me, but you guys can get something too! See what Zoya wrote: Remember EVERYONE WINS with "Share the Love": When someone clicks on your personal link and sets up an online account, a $5 coupon a coupon for a FREE Bottle of Zoya Nail Polish will automatically be placed in their account and can be used immediately on their current order. TIP: If you use this coupon and add 2 more polishes to your order, you get free shipping too! The coupon will appear in the "My Coupons/ Promos" section of their "My Account" Page.

Pretty great deal! And actually I got a bottle of their Qtica Growth Stimulator https://www.artofbeauty.com/rd/0125C2D0 (another link!) for the price of shipping (a $20 value!) through all their gifts of Share the Love points - didn't even do anything! 

 

 

 

And a friend of mine said that this was awesome over pink, so I had to try it and - WOW!  I used Cult Nails Bad Devious Nature with 2 coats and then 1 coat of ALK.  You can purchase Cult Nails on the website http://shop.cultnails.com/.  This is probably one of my favorite pinks, because the application is always flawless and the color is perfect!

 

 

I was taking pictures outside and loved the reflection on Mr. CC's truck window!! lol!

 

Well I hope you love this color as much as I do!  I have seen swatches of it over a ton of different colors and it looks fantastic with every one!  Don't forget to check out the shop opening on her website - http://www.rainbowhoney.com! 

Have a wonderful weekend!!!!  Anyone doing anything exciting?

Much Love,

Crystal
